Bumper Sticker Question

These bumper stickers eliminates the "element of surprise"...but does anyone think these bumper stickers would discourage road-rage incidents? Could be a positive thing? Would they encourage unwanted attention from the police?

no no no

no no no...I in now way wanted to imply that I would put such a sticker on my car. I just wanted to get some thoughts on the pro/cons you guys perceived of these stickers. I've seen them before on the road.

I also would never put a bumper sticker on my car for any reason. (nothing bothers me more than political bumper stickers, especially for Dems that lost the last election, hehe).

My question was could it prevent a road-rage event from escalating to the point where a guy gets out of his car to come beat on your window...or from following you anywhere? I know it's bad to "advertise" in general if you're trying to be concealed...but the second sticker doesn't say "hey I've got a CCW"...it just plants a seed in someone's head that this guy might not be the one to mess with.

Thought?

I display an NRA sticker on my car, because I am proud to be seen as a supporter of the 2d Amendment and the safe use and enjoyment of firearms. Having said that, cautious (retired) lawyer that I am, I do not wear shirts or post stickers that are aggressive statements as to my willingness to use deadly force in my defense or that of others.

I know more than a couple of misguided proecutors who would use such as evidence of an attitude that was looking for trouble. Yes, we have the Castle Doctrine here, but making one's potential legal position a bit stronger is a good idea, IMHO.

Turn the election's in 2014 to a "2A Revolution". It will serve as a 1994 refresher not to "infringe" on our Second Amendment. We know who they are now.........SEND 'EM HOME. Our success in this will be proportional to how hard we work to make it happen.

I don't wear or apply to my car/home anything that would indicate gun ownership. You never know what could set off some lunatic, and you never know how what you've got on your shirt/bumper/house window will look in court after something happens.
